E.W. Doc Parris on Nostr: To a degree I feel that Orwell was a bit of a sadist and relished in lurid ...
To a degree I feel that Orwell was a bit of a sadist and relished in lurid descriptions of Winston Smith's misery. To a degree, I feel Orwell fabricated a world that allowed him to explore his own personal paranoid fears of the world. But finally I find this book is an earnest warning against the type of totalitarianism that was Stalin's Russia as Orwell was writing it.
